What reading level is Life And Writings of Addison; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF ADDISON. 163 Voltaire is the prince of buffoons. His merriment is without disguise or restraint. He gambols ; he grins; he shakes the sides; he points the finger; he turns up the nose; he shoots out the tongue. 1 The manner of Swift is the very opposite to this. He moves laughter, but never joins in it. He appears in his works such as he appeared in society. All the company are convulsed with merriment; while the Dean, the author of all the mirth, preserves an invin- ci...ble gravity and even sourness of aspect, and gives utterance to the most eccentric and ludicrous fan- cies with the air of a man reading the commination service. 2 The manner of Addison is as remote from that of Swift as from that of Voltaire. He neither laughs out like the French wit, nor, like the Irish wit, throws a double portion of severity into his counte- nance while laughing inwardly, but preserves a look peculiarly his own, — a look of demure serenity, dis- turbed only by an arch sparkle of the eye, an almost imperceptible elevation of the brow, an almost imper- ceptible curl of the lip.
